Evidence for a stable single component sharp texture in high purity aluminum during tube high-pressure shearing at room temperature.

A stable {[Formula: see text]}  <110>  single component sharp texture was obtained during ambient temperature tube High-Pressure Shearing (t-HPS) of 99.999% purity aluminum. It is shown that the grain size and the grain aspect ratio saturate at ~ 8 μm and ~ 1.

Pioglitazone Use and Risk of Bladder Cancer: an Study.

Whether pioglitazone (PIO), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist, increases the risk of developing bladder cancer has been debated for several years. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PIO on normal urothelial transitional epithelium (NUTE) cells and bladder cancer (J82) cells to further evaluate the risk. NUTE cells were obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats.
